Caffeinated Beverage Formulation
Beverage formulation services targeted the creation of refreshing, clean, and stable caffeine-infused water drinks. In contrast to the conventional energy drinks, caffeinated water is a functional energy drink that has very few calories, no heavy flavours, and a light mouthfeel.
Types of Beverages
Caffeinated water formulation follows the same technical discipline applied to other carbonated and functional beverage categories.

Our Process
Caffeinated Water Recipe Formulation is a precision-driven process that integrates caffeine solubility, carbonation balance, flavour clarity, and shelf stability.
01. Research and Conceptualisation
The steps are to be started by determining the source of caffeine, dosage and form by a beverage formulation consultant. It is a choice between still or sparkling caffeine-enriched water, aiming at a certain level of caffeine and direction of flavour based on the expectations of the consumers and caffeinated water brands.
02.Define Your Beverage Idea
This phase will define the type of product, which will be unflavoured caffeinated water, lightly flavoured sparkling water or premium seltzer drink variations. It answers some of the frequently asked questions, such as how to prepare caffeinated water, which is clear and refreshing to the drinker.
03. Identify the Market Gaps
Some of the opportunities identified through market analysis include low-calorie caffeine water, high-end flavoured sparkling water, or functional hydration as a substitute for the current energy drinks.
04. Regulatory Knowledge
In the sparkling water formulation in India, all the beverage formulation technologies are in accordance with FSSAI requirements that include limits on caffeine, additives, carbonation and labelling. This guarantees the pre-planning of the development of the sparkling water recipes for private label.
05.Caffeine Dissolvability and Carbonation
The stability of caffeine is achieved by optimising the pH and regulating carbonation. This is to allow even distribution of caffeine and avoid bitterness or instability as shelf life progresses.
06. Taste, Flavour and Sensory Development
The flavour systems are designed to conceal the bitter caffeine flavour and retain the clean taste of the carbonated water. Light sensory appeal is normally applied in flavoured sparkling water using natural flavours.
07. Shelf-Life, Stabilisers and Additives
Shelf-life testing is used to test the retention of carbonation, flavour stability, clarity and the integrity of caffeine under actual conditions of storage. This is essential in the beverage formulation solutions and caffeinated water recipes.
08. Packaging Design
Cans and PET bottles are packaging formats that are evaluated based on carbonation protection, oxygen control and appearance.
09. Creating Brands and Labels
They have support for caffeine disclosure, ingredient statements, and consistent functional claims that are established by regulations on beverages.
10. Prototype Evaluation
Pilot prototypes are put through taste, carbonation level, caffeine delivery and acceptance by the consumers.
11.Manufacturing Setup
The finalisation of processing parameters, carbonation systems, and filling conditions is done to enable scalable sparkling water formulation and production of own label.
12. Production Launch
Finally, formulations are scaled to commercial levels using regulated scale-up tests and quality standards.
13. Market Entry & Support
The caffeine water and caffeinated water brands’ pilot learnings are transformed into SOPs, ingredient specifications and quality standards to enable long-term success
